GRANDMA�S FEATHER BED
words and music: Jim Connor
sung by John Denver
[D] When I was a [G] little bitty boy [D] just up off-a [A7] floor
[D] We used to go down to [G] Grandma�s house [D] every month[A7]end or
[D] so
We�d chicken pie and [G] country ham �n� [D] homemade butter on the [A7]
bread
But the [D] best darn thing about [G] Grandma�s house was her [A7] great
big feather
[D] bed. It was
Chorus: [D] nine feet tall and six feet wide [G] soft as a downy [D]
chick
It was[D] made from the feathers of forty �leven geese,
Took a [E7] whole bolt of cloth for the [A7] tick
It�d [D] hold eight kids �n� four hound dogs and a [G] piggy we stole
from the [D]shed
We didn�t get much sleep but we [G] had a lot of fun on [A7] Grandma�s
feather [D] bed
After supper we�d sit around the fire the old floks�d spit and chew
Pa would talk about the farm and the war and Granny�d sing a ballad or
two
I�d sit and listen and watch the fire till the cobwebs filled my head
Next thing I�d know I�d wake up in the mornin� in the middle of the old
feather bed. It

Chorus:
[D] for one bar, [G] for a bar, and [A7] for a bar, then:
[D] Well I love my Ma, I [G] love my Pa, I love [D] Granny and Grandpa
[A7] too
I been [D] fishin� with my uncle, I [G] rassled with my cousins
I [D] even kissed [A7] Aunt [D] Lou
But if I ever had [G] to make a choice, I [D] guess it ought to be [A7]
said
That I�d [D] trade �em all plus the [G] gal down the road
For [A7] Grandma�s feather [D] bed
I�d trade �em all plus the [G] gal down the road.....[A7]
It was
